Outlook::Exchange::Public Folder::Define default public folder view

I want to make a custom view the default view for everyone who views my public folder.
To create a default custom view for a public folder, follow these steps:

Log on to the Outlook client as the owner of a public folder, and select the public folder.

Customize the public folder to the desired view. This can be done using the menu items for View.

Save the custom view by clicking on View menu, then Define Views, and selecting Current View Settings. Click Copy, and then type in your view name. Then select This folder, visible to everyone. Click OK, then Close.

To select a custom view for a public folder, follow these steps:

Log on to the Outlook client as the owner of a public folder.

Right-click on the folder, and select Properties. Select the Administration tab.

NOTE:  If users have already customized their view for that public folder, their view will stay until they specifically choose a different view. All users that have not customized the public folder view will receive the newly selected public folder view.
